A Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece built for Aline Barnsdall, whom the park was named after. The oil heiress, born in 1882, was a philanthropist, actress, and supporter of socialist and feminist movements. She and her daughter Betty (known affectionately as Sugartop) lived in the house together for many years, as Aline chose not to marry.

“Frank Lloyd Wright’s 1919 masterpiece on the top of a wee mount in the middle of LA, and my favorite place to meet up with friends and kids for giant sunset picnics in the heat of the summer. There’s always a breeze, the vibes are impeccable, life is good! Abby Brach,the newish curator at Hollyhock, has been programming superb contemporary exhibitions at the house; Louise Bonnet and Adam Silverman”

“California modernists delight! The moat around the fireplace! The bas relief! The kitchen! The dining chairs! THAT CARPET! I die. FLW at his finest.”
